	The Two Fliers

**Author's Note:**

> Ashe is too precious for this world. Him and Petra are so sweet together, but I was curious how things might go between them when things get heated.
> 
> !!Major Blue Lions spoilers!!
> 
> Slight canon divergences, characters have been classed differently than they are in the base game (altho Petra and Ashe are actually a fantastic wyvern duo)

" _This is happening, isn't it? I could see the gates of Enbarr from my tent last night. Even though they're holed up in there, I pray the goddess protects us now, more than ever. I don't want to know what a person like Edelgard will do when they're backed into a corner. If something does happen, know that--"_

"Ashe, may I be entering?"

In the candlelight, Ashe put his journal down on the small chest before him. Dawn was still too far away to write by the sun. "Of- of course. Come on in." The words scraped like sandpaper in his mouth. He didn't feel ready for today to start. This was their routine before every major battle, being the only two wyvern riders, but she was early this time.

He heard more than saw two figure enter the tent, nigh-silent footsteps followed by the clanking of heavy metal. "You have my gratitude, Tera. I will be asking your help with the plating soon," she said to her page. "Can you be tending to Rúilacha for a moment?" 

Ashe watched as one silhouette nodded and moved out, the other turning and moving closer. The dim light did Petra more favors than most people, favors she didn't need--a revelation he tried his best to ignore as she became visible. A heavy gambeson covered everything above the waist; it rose up around her neck in a high collar and latched firmly to her wrists. It was the bulky under-padding all plated knights had to wear, and somehow she always made it look easy, effortless. She moved silently in their heavy leather riding pants, which had a menagerie of metal buckles and cinches for armor. Ever the hunter, he supposed.

Petra closed in, maybe a couple feet away despite the large tent Faerghus had accommodated him with. "Ah, good. You are not wearing the padding yet. I am having something important for you." She began to rummage in one of her pouches.

"Oh goddess!" The gears clicked back into place in his brain. He turned away and hid himself, scrambling to find his gambeson, or even something regarding a shirt. "I'm so sorry, Petra. I really should've been more presentable-"

"Is there trouble? Do not be telling me the modesty of Fódlan is this much." She reached out and grabbed his bare shoulder, turning him around. "When you will be joining me in Brigid, you will see this is not a problem." Still, she giggled, sending a cold lance down his gut.

"Well in Fódlan it's still... well I mean to say- it's just not great." His mouth went dry, and he tried clearing his throat. "There are just, uh, _presumptions_ people might make." Ashe tried his best to ignore her hand that still held him. 

Thankfully--and sadly--she let it go as a bigger, darker smile grew on her face. "Presumptions? That word has complexity, but I think I am... understanding."

Ashe's stomach flipped. Here _this_ was again, which frustrated him to no end. Somewhere along their campaign past the Great Bridge of Myrddin, she had sprung something new on their relationship; a flirty side, which hurt more than it helped. He had agreed that he'd be her knight in Brigid, and from what he knew, head knights didn't end up with their charge and employer. As much as he might want otherwise, he could accept loving her from a distance, pouring it into his knightly devotion. That's what all the legends did, anyway.

Still, he couldn't stop a dumb grin coming on, so he rolled his eyes and chuckled, hoping the candlelight didn't show the color on his face. "Anyway, what did you bring that's so important?"

Petra brought a glass vial close to his face, filled mostly with a thick, deep blue substance. She smiled behind it, though her voice was softer. "This. It is a decision for you to be making, but you are worthy of a sign, Ashe. If you want."

"A sign? Like some sort of--" he glanced at her eye, with the small markings that surrounded it "--ah. _Oh_. Are you sure?"

She closed her eyes and nodded. "I am. This journey has been very difficult. We are the only two that are flying, so you are the one I am seeing the most." She opened her eyes, looking into him with a mixture of intensity and openness. "The paint is... not final like my markings. I am missing even the correct color, because there were no greens like your eyes, where in Brigid it must be.

"Here in Fódlan, though, I am hoping the spirits will not mind. Today is the ending of the Empire, and I would be liking to have any help we can to get through this. To see my friend-- no, my..." she paused and searched for a different word, "companion on the battlefield, with the markings of Brigid on his face, it would give me great strength. I would be having- I would have..." She swore in her own tongue and sighed. "I would _really_ appreciate it, Ashe."

Her jaw was set from the determination of getting her words right, but as the seconds inched by between them, she tried to loosen back into a small smile.

"Of course, Petra." He found he didn't need to decide. "I would be honored."

The smile bloomed. "Thank you." She took out a small brush and uncorked the vial. "There will be two signs, one of the face and one of the arm. What protection will you be asking from the spirits? I can be painting them so they will know."

He thought about it, fusing his meager knowledge of Brigid's spirits and their customs. "For strength..." he settled on, "to do what I must. Does- does that make sense? I want help doing what needs to be done, even if I don't like it. I don't want to hurt Edelgard, but if it's me and her..."

She touched his arm. "I am understanding. Be still now, please." She dipped the brush in the navy paint and began working, bringing her face unbearably close to his, her eyes tracing up and down his right cheek. "For the face, for the spirits to be seeing and knowing first, we ask for determination. We ask for unbreakable-ness. Is that a word?" He could feel her breath on him as sharply as the wet brushstrokes under his eye.

"Maybe? It sounds right."

"The words of Fódlan always give me wonder. So many to say small ideas--not enough to say bigger ones." She pulled back and admired her handiwork, giving a small nod. "Ah, you are wanting to see as well, yes?" She reached around in the dark and pulled out the polished breastplate of her cuirass, holding it up to his face in the candlelight.

In the warbled reflection, he moved his head around until he could see his cheek clearly. Three deep blue dots, no larger than his pupils, traced down in a column below his right eye, each starting a thick, single line that ran sideways across his cheek to his ear and hairline.

He found himself smiling. "Whoa. This is great, Petra." Maybe it wasn't his ideal knightly look, but it certainly gave him a ferocity he wasn't expecting.

"I am glad you are in agreement." She beamed at him as she dipped her paintbrush again, then set the vial down. Her hands reached out and pried his right arm away from his side, starting to paint again along his bicep. "For the arm, to be allowing the spirits to guide us, we are asking for power, for their strength. It is the same sign as my own."

He tried to ignore the prickling in his gut as her hands worked softly along his shoulder and arm, tracing the same band he'd seen on her countless times. The waving lines, the small dots between them, it was surreal to see those same markings on his own flesh. He watched, breathless, as she worked.

"It is done, I am thinking." She announced with a nod and stepped back. Her gaze moved over him coolly, Ashe suddenly feeling bare without his shirt. Petra scrutinized her work on his face and arm, then quickly whisked her eyes over the rest of him. With a wide grin, she said, "You can be wearing the padding now. Thank you, Ashe."

"Of- of course. It was nothing, really- or well, not to say it doesn't mean a lot, but, you know..." There was no way she couldn't see the heat he felt in his face. "I like it. Maybe I really can be a knight of Brigid someday."

She found his gambeson and brought it over, helping his arms through and working on the clasps and buckles that went down his side. They receded back into their ritual, the quiet preparations only the wyvern lords knew. "I... I am thinking you already are. So I will be asking for your promise, that you will be living through this. I will not be losing you." She rose up and tightened the last buckle just over his shoulder blade, a little too forcefully. He could feel her hands trembling as she evened out his collar. "You must be joining me in Brigid. I will not be going home alone."

His heart swelled. No matter what gulf he felt between them, he couldn't give up the trust and companionship he felt for her, and to hear it returned it kind was a wonder of it's own. He'd be there for her, even if only in the ways a knight could, and no more. "I promise, Petra."

\--

Ashe brought his axe down on the mage in front of him, cleaving deep through their shoulder and well into their rib cage. The warlock's spell fizzled out as their incantations were reduced to terminal gurgling. His own muscles screamed as he wrenched his weapon back out. They were in _her_ chamber now, in a pitched, desperate struggle. He could feel the faint pulse of blood where a blade narrowly sliced his thigh.

Felix bore a multitude of deeper gashes, still hacking and slicing his own bloody path. Sylvain's hair was blackened and singed, multiple plates of his armor blown clean off. Alongside Ingrid, who heavily favored her right leg, the three kept the reinforcements at bay. But they were all beginning to tire, and their mad gambit was starting to slide backwards.

"Petra! Ashe!" Byleth's voice rang clear over the din of battle, as it always did. "Up here, now!"

Gritting his teeth, Ashe kicked his heels into his wyvern and spun around, rocketing towards the dais where the Emperor awaited. Dimitri has been forced back, leaning heavily on his lance as he tried to get onto to his feet. Byleth stood beside him, swinging her elongated sword around like a whirlwind, simultaneously trying to deflect blows that would end the king and also protect herself. Whatever Edelgard had become, it was repaying in kind to whatever damage it had taken.

A ball of wicked purple energy pierced through her defense, striking the professor and sending her spiraling across the floor. Ashe's breath caught in his lungs, watching as the husk readied another another blast.

He couldn't get there in time. As damaged as Edelgard looked, he wouldn't get to her before she could release another spell, killing either Dimitri or Byleth, whichever she pleased. Dropping his weapon, he reached into his saddlebags and drew out a smaller throwing axe, loosing it in one smooth motion.

"With all of my might-!" Ashe heard a stream of Brigidese follow as Petra crashed into view like lightning. He had lost track of her as they entered the final chamber, the two of them leading the charge. Time slowed as he watched her, her axe held high over her head, nearly standing in her saddle. Some of her braids had come undone at some point, the loose hair flowing down her face as she roared. In that moment upon hundreds of others, he thanked the goddess she turned her back on the Empire. Then her arms came down like thunder, the axe blade biting deep into the back of Edelgard's neck with a sickening crunch. 

The spell spiraled out of control and whizzed high into the ceiling. The glow in Edelgard's eyes faded. Ashe's tomahawk sunk into a dead chest. 

Momentum carried him the rest of the way. A new reservoir of adrenaline surged in his chest as he landed on the dais and took another axe out from the saddlebags, watching the husk wearily for a moment until he was sure she was dead. Satisfied, he hopped off his wyvern and tried running over to his old professor.

She was already getting up, though with Dimitri's help. "Your empress is dead!" The king roared. "Surrender now and you will be spared!" The battle din shifted, growing unsure with cries and metal being dropped, not struck against one another. "Do you hear me! Look if you do not believe it! Throw down your arms!"

Dimitri turned, finding the husk's form dissipating. With a gingerness Ashe didn't expect, he picked up Edelgard's body and began carrying her down the steps, the professor by his side. "See that it is done! There is no more need for bloodshed! Surrender peacefully, I beg of you, and no harm will come to you!"

Slowly, surely, the fighting stopped. Some ran. Others wept. Most threw themselves to the ground, exhausted. Screams punctuated the few that refused. In time, though, the palace started settling, almost quiet. He felt alien in his own body. How should he himself feel? Overjoyed to win? Sad at the raw destruction it took? Apathetic and exhausted at how it all looked, now that it was over?

Mercedes had rushed to Dedue, pouring spell after spell into a nasty wound that bit deep into his side. Ingrid and Sylvain, as damaged they were, supported Felix on their shoulders. Even the Professor needed Dimitri to steady her once or twice. These scenes weren't new after a long campaign, but for everybody to be in a bad state made his heart hurt.

"Is... Is that you, Ashe?"

He spun around, seeing Petra land Rúilacha and teeter in her saddle. "It is giving me great joy to see you are alive and well." She tried to get her foot out of the stirrup, instead getting caught up further and tumbling off her wyvern.

Like before, he wasn't close enough. She fell hard into the floor, letting a breathy grunt escape her gritted teeth. The clatter of her plating echoed throughout the room.

Ashe ran to her as fast as he could, ignoring the deep pain down his thigh. He knelt down beside her, helping her sit up. "Petra! Are you okay?" 

It was now that he could see what he hadn't before. The armor along her side had been dented and blackened, running from her waist up to her collar, the black soot of magic plastered further up the side of her face. Spatters of blood covered most of what wasn't singed.

"I... I will be feeling fine." She let out a long, pained breath. "I am thinking I can live the rest of my life without being struck by magic. The feeling is... it is not a pleasant feeling."

"Is that it?" Ashe abandoned decorum and felt her arms, her shoulders, her legs for any wounds he could find, any trickle of blood that was still warm. With all their plating, it wasn't uncommon to not notice an injury until it was too late, their bodies still riding high on adrenaline. "Petra, did anything else hit you? What's all this blood?"

She gave him an odd smile. "It is not belonging to me. Are you having doubt in my ability to fight?" Seeing as Ashe failed to keep fussing over her, she added, "There is nothing else that hurts. I would be appreciating a vulnerary for--" she sucked in a breath "--the pain, though."

"Right!" Ashe sat her up fully and then began rummaging through her bags, cursing their clunky gear at a moment like this. At last he pulled one out and offered it to her. "We need to get you back to camp. You need to see a healer."

She took a long draft from the vial and then shook her head. "There are many others who need healing more. I can be managing until then." Still, she gingerly touched her side, her face twisting in pain, and she let loose a long, angry hiss. "I can manage. There have been worse wounds before."

Ashe set his jaw sternly. "I'm sure you can. I'm still getting you back to camp, though." He took her one arm and slung it over his shoulder, helping her to her feet. The both of them grunted, pained and weary. Ashe could feel his sliced thigh protest, threatening to give out under both their weights. "Can you still ride?"

"Yes." Petra spoke some commands in Brigidese as they approached Rúilacha, who laid low to the ground. He helped her up into the saddle, then got in his own. "Thank you, Ashe."

\--

Supporting her as best he could, Ashe helped Petra into the tent, settling her down as gingerly as he could on the small wooden cot. Her breathing had become more strained, welling from further in her gut as the vulnerary failed to keep all the pain at bay. 

"I'll go get a healer. Give me one-"

"Ashe, no." Petra pawed at her plating as she sat on the edge of the frame. "I have been telling you, I will not be making a healer wasted on me. There are many, even from my own riders, who are dying." She gave up trying to get her damaged armor off, settling on pulling away her gauntlets and chucking them across the room. Her voice was stern and final. "I am not feeling my life's blood draining. The pain is... difficult, but I can be managing. Help me remove this-" she let loose a long list of swears he couldn't translate.

"Fine." Ashe wasn't happy. In fact he was downright angry at her, though he couldn't disagree with her logic. She was still injured, and those needed to be addressed sooner rather than later. Removing his own gauntlets, he set to work pulling away the dented and busted plates, undoing the clasps deeper down along her padding. As he did so, he came to see the extent of whatever magic had hit her. A whole side of the gambeson, usually cream-colored, was charred black and fraying. It was made from an expensive material meant to disperse magical energy, but the concussive force could still shatter bodies. 

With the last piece gone, Petra sighed and tried to roll her joints, only to halt halfway through with a hiss of pain. "I am hating these mages. Arrows are much easier to avoid."

Ashe looked over her, the sweat running down in beads from her forehead, clad from waist to chin in this ugly, beaten padding. A decision came to the forefront of his mind, one he was very much trying to avoid.

"Petra, do you mind if I-"

She nodded, thankfully understanding and sparing him the more tentative words he hadn't quite found. "If it will be convincing you that I will be fine. It would be helping me cool down, anyway."

Ashe sat down behind her. Slowly, he made his hands undo the series of buckles that held the gambeson together, which started from her neck, down over a shoulder blade and along the side of her back. He tried his best to force away any screaming thoughts of manners or politeness. Something deep within him _had_ to know she was going to be okay.

Little by little, he began to see the tanned skin of her back, clad in only the cloth bindings she wore underneath. Soon after he found the deep, angry colors that one would expect to see after getting struck with magic--the dark purples and blacks of heavy bruising and bleeding the body suffered under the skin. They welled out from her hip and ballooned all over her ribs, the last wisps spilling over her shoulder.

"Well?" She asked, exhaling sharply through her nose.

"It... it doesn't look good." He buried his face in his hands of a brief moment, unsure of what do to next. "Petra, you need to see a healer. We need to make sure your ribs aren't broken, and that there's no internal bleeding." He looked again at the terrible bruising down her side.

She straightened up, looking over her shoulder. "No. I will not be repeating my words. I have certainty that I am not dying."

"Well I don't!" Ashe bit back more he wanted to say. A shouting match would only make things worse. "I need to know. _For sure_."

"Then do it yourself! I am here and am not needing a healer. The professor was teaching you white magics, was he not?" She shrugged further out of her gambeson, revealing more tanned skin along her back, making an uneasy knot start twisting in Ashe's gut.

"But- but I can't do that!" He pulled his hands further away from her, an involuntary movement she noticed. "I mean, I can't do anything close to- I can only do small stuff."

She sighed and rolled her eyes, wincing as she reached back to grab his hands and placed them on the small of her back. "Ashe, I am not having patience for the modesty of Fódlan. Either be trusting of me or trusting what you can see and feel."

"Right." The word tumbled out of his mouth. Nothing weird here. Just knightly duties, making sure the royalty is safe. Nothing untoward could be misconstrued about this, he lied to himself. Gingerly, he moved a hand up her side. "This might hurt a bit."

"It is fine." Petra stared off at the canvas wall, though he could tell she said it through her teeth. 

Ashe pulled a shaky breath in, trying to ignore the worsening pit in his stomach. He delicately pried more of the padding away, barely skimming his fingertips along her blackened skin until he found her lowest rib. Gently he pressed on it, making Petra grunt and dig her hands into the edge of the cot. It felt fine, at least what he was trained to look for--no extreme depression or odd movements. The next few seemed unscathed as well.

He pressed on a rib further up and immediately knew there was something wrong--the pained yelp from Petra only made him feel bad. Muttering an apology, he tested it again, as gently as he could manage. It was definitely broken. Slowly, he discovered the next one was as well, threatening to move in more concerning ways than the previous. He went to go up another and found his hands skimming the cloth wrappings she wore.

"Oh, sorry-"

"No, do not be worrying." With a level of grace that belied her injuries, Petra produced a knife from thin air and began cutting through her bindings.

"Whoa! Where- where did that come from?" He pulled his hands away from her. "Besides, I can still-"

"I will always be having a blade on me," she explained through gritted teeth. She snuck a pained grin at him over her shoulder, her cheeks a rosy tint. The knife made it through, and she let the discarded cloths fall to her waist. "There. You may be continuing."

"Right." The same word fell out of his mouth, faster this time, feeling the heat running up the back of his neck. He paused, his hands having trouble remembering where they left off. Then he placed his fingers along her side again, finding another fracture. Thankfully, as he moved higher, they began to feel normal again.

After a moment, he drew his hands away. "There. Okay. It seems there are only a few broken ribs, thank goodness."

"So you are believing me now? Good. You can be casting the white magics now."

"What? No- no we need to wait for someone better. I'm not-"

"Ashe. I will not be having healers wasted on me when you can be doing the same. This is very painful--do you not wish to be helping? Why are you seeming nervous?" She looked back at him, and seeing the very red state of his face, her eyes narrowed in silent laugh. "Ahh, I am understanding."

He hid behind his hands. "No no Petra! It's not what you think."

"I am believing it is." She scooted back slightly, closer. "I will not be minding. If you are to be coming with me to Brigid, this will be something to overcome."

He wanted the ground to swallow him up. "As I knight I can't-"

"If you are wanting to come home with me, you must." 

He heaved a great, mighty sigh. Thankfully she turned to the wall again, but otherwise... her whole bare back stretched out in front of him, defined by toned muscle he had only guiltily stolen glances at before. Her plum hair wound around her neck and over her shoulder, the braids falling out and messy. There was another curious sign at the base of her neck, one he wanted so dearly to run his thumb over and ask about--but no. Hands trembling, he forced a soft current of the goddess' power through them and brought them to her sides.

She responded with a sigh of her own, and he knew very well the numbing, palliative sensation the spell caused. It wasn't the intense jolt of energy they used on the battlefield, but rather a slow, steady transfer of energy. He only had some basic training with faith magic, which meant he had to physically touch her to get the spell to function properly.

He moved the spell--his fingers--slowly along her hips, over the small of her back, and timidly along her ribs and   
up to her shoulders. His mind worked overtime from letting anything slip remotely close to her chest. The seconds inched by, trying not to appreciate her in any way more than was proper. He was... her knight, he reminded himself for the thousandth time.

"I can be growing used to this," Petra said at long last. "Are you as well, Ashe? I have been noticing you are using both hands."

He froze. She was right, his other hand had been lazily tracing mirrored motions into the opposite side of her back. Nothing was bruised or injured there, just the careless ministrations of a mind too busy elsewhere. "I- I can stop, if you want. I'm so sorry, I didn't notice."

She laughed, shallow and lightly, to avoid hurting herself. "I was saying I can be growing used to this, was I not? It is giving me... comfort." At this she let a contented breath go and slowly eased herself back against him, resting her head in the crook of his shoulder. "You give... you make me the most comfortable."

His lungs seized up, his whole body fighting to both touch her as little as possible and never let her go. Countless unspoken rules were being shattered and trampled on. His heartstrings pulled on eachother in a deadly tug-of-war.

She looked up at him, those soft magenta eyes burning into him from below. "You understand, yes?"

He allowed himself to peer back down. His words were fragile. "I... I don't... What do you mean?"

Her expression deflated, but the resolve in her eyes refused to waver. "You have been keeping your promise, you have survived. There is much for us to be doing in Brigid, soon." She stared at him for a moment, then her spirits did flag. "Unless... that is not what you are wanting."

"What? No, Petra, that's exactly what I want." _'Well, mostly, anyway,'_ his mind filled in. 

Her smile returned. "Good. That... is exactly what I want, too." Delicately, she grabbed for his hands that still sat lightly along her sides, guiding them to wrap around her stomach. She hummed appreciatively and reached back up, cupping his jaw as she guided his face lower and lower.

Ashe had only the thinnest of holds on reality as Petra kissed him. On top of everything that had happened today, this threatened to break him in two. Yet he forced himself to focus, unless the moment would pass him by. So he breathed, honing in on all the good in the moment; his arms holding her, the soft smells of her hair, the press of her lips on his.

Petra pulled away, her airy exhale ending in a hiss of discomfort. "Ashe... my ribs."

"Oh!" he squeaked, loosening his hold. "Please forgive me, I just had no idea." For once he was the one trying to put together his words. "I had no clue you... I mean, I really didn't know- I was just always sure I was just-"

"You were believing you were... what?" she asked, adjusting herself on his shoulder to something more comfortable.

He craned his neck down to look her in the eyes--oh goddess, the gambeson wasn't hiding much anymore. With the straps undone, with both of their hands moving under and over it, he saw more curves of hers than he had ever seen. He quickly, carefully moved his gaze away.

"You... you wanted me to come to Brigid as your knight, right?" Ashe began. "There are, uh, rules about that. Here in Fódlan, at least. I didn't think you were, well... interested in me like this."

She frowned, tilting her head as she tried to understand. "You are saying that, in Fódlan, knights cannot have a partner?"

"No, no they can." Ashe chewed on his lip. "It's just, usually knights sworn to protect queens and princesses don't end up with them. Outside of any fairy tale, at least. Since you _are_ the princess of Brigid, it only makes sense..."

Petra reached up and traced the markings on his cheek. "I am understanding. However, there are no traditions for knights in Brigid, and I am thinking this will not be a problem. My people are different from the people of Fódlan. It... it will be okay, Ashe." She shifted again, only to catch her breath in her throat, and so she whispered, "Can you be continuing healing?"

"Oh, of course." Ashe kept one arm wrapped around her, and used the other to run the spell up and down her bruised side. 

A couple words in Brigidese escaped her lips as he worked his magic, closing her eyes. Her breathing grew deeper and less strained, until she had sunk completely against him. She touched his jaw again and guided his face to look back down at her. "Thank you. We... can be continuing now."

Ashe felt himself gravitate in closer to her, but pulled short just before they connected. "This... This is happening, isn't it?"

Even though his eyes were closed as well, he could feel her smile. "I had been telling you before, I will not be going home alone."
